Dr. Max Naumann, leader of the Nationalist German Jewish party, last night delivered a sharp attack on the application of “Aryan” legislation to those Jews who, like himself, accept the Nazi theories in full and ask only to be permitted to join the ranks of the Nazis.
Dr. Naumann spoke at a meeting of his party. The hall in which the meeting took place was elaborately decorated with swastika emblems. A number of uniformed storm troopers were in the audience.
Dr. Naumann’s group, which claims to be just as Germanic as the most fanatical Nazis, has waged a long struggle to be recognized as Germans and as Nazis. The group has been rebuffed consistently by the Nazis.
Recently another Nationalist Jewish group was organized, which claimed that the Naumann group was not sufficiently nationalistic.
Dr. Naumann has long aspired to be appointed Commissar over all German Jews.
